Child Study Team

The Child Study Team Process

Purpose: The Child Study Team process exists as a tool to:
Identify students who exhibit “need in academic or behavioral areas”
Share background information on the identified student
Identify problem area(s)
Brainstorm strategies that will assist the student
Define reasonable, measurable goals for the student
Identify “key players” who will assist student in reaching the goals
Determine if the goals have been bet or if further intervention is necessary (follow-up progress review meetings)

Also, other professionals may be invited if the child receives services, or may help in the process: example –
